Saving Memory on the Mobile Computer

Mobile favorites take up storage memory on the mobile computer. To minimize the amount of memory
used:
• In the settings for the Favorites information type in ActiveSync options, turn off pictures and
sounds or stop some mobile favorites from downloading. For more information, refer to
ActiveSync Help.
